Krishna and the fruit vendor

Krishna and the fruit vendor

One day a fruit vendor, well versed in moral laws, stood outside Nanda's  gate trying to sell fruits. Hearing her calling for customers, Krishna came  out to see. The fruit vendor was enchanted by seeing the two pink land  lotuses of Krishna's feet. In the cup of His small lotus hands Krishna brought  some food grains to trade for fruits. By the time Krishna reached the fruit  vendor, however, most of grains had already slipped out of His hands.
The melodious jingling of Krishna's golden ankle-bells captivated the ears  of fruit vendor. She absorbed her eyes in the full experience of seeing  Krishna, the personified stream of bliss who was more enchanting than a  beautiful rain cloud. Absorbed in the bliss of Krishna's association, that  pious woman filled her palms with fruits and gladly offered them to Krishna.  At that moment the fruit remaining in her basket magically transformed  into costly gems and jewels.
